Promesses de Green
Greens believe in the 3-30-300 rule for a healthier, greener city: every resident should be able to see a minimum of 3 trees from every home, enjoy 30 percent tree canopy cover in every neighbourhood and be within 300 metres of the nearest public park or green space. 30% is a minimum - we'll aim to match Metro Vancouver’s goal of 40% city-wide tree cover with tree species that excel at sequestering GHGs and can cope with changing climate.

Biographie
I grew up and went to school and university in the UK, studying chemistry at the University of Bristol, so had to learn about a new school system here in Vancouver. I continue to un-learn and re-learn on the unceded lands of the Musqueam, Squamish and Musqueam Nations.
Raison de la candidature
I'm really eager to be re-elected as l want to be a part of rolling out the new VSB Education Plan, turning the words of the three goals into actions; (1) student achievement, including physical and mental well-being and a sense of belonging, (2) equity, and (3) the district’s Reconciliation journey.
I'm also looking to better serve families by enhancing schools as community hubs, and especially for before-and-after school childcare as this is essential for so many families.
